War, fire, sausages *and* mustard
Heigh ho, I'm off to summer camp for four days, starting tomorrow morning. It will be just like the good old days in Girl Guides.

Except that the Girl Guides didn't have beer. Or a pig roast. And they didn't ignite a gasoline-soaked campfire with flaming arrows. And hitting each other with weapons was definitely frowned upon. And hitting things with swords from horseback was right out of the question. So maybe not quite like Girl Guides...

	A word of advice, from my time as ceremonies and ordeal chief: don't use gasoline, use diesel--it is a much more effective and safer fire-starter, and you can make wadding torches out of it, to boot. (Reply to this)

	Safer? Nonono, that wouldn't do. Apparently you are under the impression that igniting grass in a ten-foot radius of the fire pit and sending huge fireballs into the sky are undesirable effects of a good flaming arrow bonfire ignition. ;-) (Reply to this)
